Use Case BIM

Two new use cases for the «Use Case Management» platform of buildingSMART International    

Ingenieur-Geometer Schweiz (IGS) supports the development of two new use cases for the «Use Case Management» platform of buildingSMART International.

Use cases will represent the workflow between geometer and construction planner. They will be published in French and German.

The first use case «geo-referencing» will establish criteria for a minimum density of reference points, depending on the nature of the construction project. Planners will be made aware of the need to integrate geo-referencing at the beginning of the project.

The second use case «3D scanning to create models for existing buildings» will present different options for scanning (exterior/interior, whole structure/part of the structure, all trades/selected trades, etc.) and will detail the two most frequent applications.

The following teams have been formed:

1. Use case «georeferencing»: Andreas Barmettler (Trigonet AG, coordinator), David Holdener (Bbp Geomatik AG) and Thomas Marti (Jauslin Stebler AG).
2. Use case «building assessment»: Bertrand Cannelle (HEIG-VD, Coordinator), Mathieu Petitjean (HKD Geomatics) and Philippe Steiner (CCHE-Architects).

The project is coordinated by the MIC group (HEPIA). Mr. Andreas Kluser represents the interests of IGS.
